Dear friends,

I am sure this has been discussed before, so my apologies first.

I am doing my T-34/85 with bedsprings (Berlin 45 campaign) and also Tamiya JS-2 soon.

What is the best color code (say Gunze or Tamiya) to represent Russian armor in Berlin 45.

I have seen some remarkable T-34 paint schemes from

wonder what green colors they might have used.

Thnks & Rgds

Hi , The offical colour was dark olive green , but it varied due to the wartime restrictions of the supply of the dyes used , so it can be any shade from a mid olive green to dark , also it depends on weathering of the paint . cheers ian

You can check this thread. The same applies to Russian tanks in '45.
